Psalms 60:3-1953 kjv — Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Thou hast given a banner…

“Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering. Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us. God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me. Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom? Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. ”

“You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us. God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia." Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom? Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God. Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain. Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries. For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.”

“You have made your people experience hard times; you have made us drink intoxicating wine. You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow.(Selah) Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe. God has spoken in his sanctuary:“I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem; the Valley of Succoth I will measure off. Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter. Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.” Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies. Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile. By God’s power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.”

“To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me; For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy. In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings. For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation. He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search? So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day. ”

“You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink. Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.) So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer. God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded. Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom? Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies. Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man. Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.”

“Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. ”
